The President IN Danger.
WASHINGTON, March 2l.-Dr. z. T
Sewers, one 81 the most prominent
physicians Of Washington, in an inter
view with q reporter today declared
there is danger that President OlevelAn5
will not live through his tsrn uulea
there is chance in his mede of wing
Dr. Sewers six months before Secretary
ManninR's illness made the prediction
with regard TO the Secretary, and advis
ed his frieAds h warn him Of his dan
ger. In an interview today Sewers says:
''It may be deemed impartinent 10 talk
10 the President through the news
papers. but know Of no other way OF
reaching him and those about bin.
the friends OF Mr.. Manning aHd their
fruit. and do not feel that l should
take the same chance IN this matter. /
am personally appFised OF the Presi
dents cendition, and while ID Is in no
sense dangerous, II will not be very
long before there will be reason for
alarm. President Cleveland is Q large
deshy man, aud since be has come 10
the White House has gained enormous
ly in flesh. Nov whsn be lived in Baf.
falo, 10 was his habit to take long walks.
Since be came here, however, he has
abandoned every exercise save carriage
riding and that ig OF little or no use.
The President is 8 man Who works
with his head great deal, in faoa, he Is
an intense brain worker. He Is, IN
other words. q ploddeF and his brain j.
consequently filled with an excess of
blood. What is the result He works
with his head, eata enormously and
! fails to exercise his muEoles. His blood
vessels are weakened and il is only q
| question Of time when, in a moment OF
| excitement, he will burst blood vessel
| tell you at the rate that President
Clevsland is now living there is great
| danger that be will not live throughout
his term. Something should be done to
bring him to realize his danger and
take proper steps to prevent the result
which will surely enene IL he fails TO
| take proper exercise. What I should
recommend would be the fixing up Of 3
rosm Of the White House. and the set
/ ting apart Of half-an honr every day
gymnastio exercises. ThAt alsne, 10
my opinion, will prevent a catastrophe,
he avoidance OF which net only the
President, bat the country az large is
interested In securing.
